What is a good at home treatment for pregnancy induced vaginal itching?(not yeast infection or std!)?
This is my 3rd pregnancy and I never experienced vaginal itching before, although I am aware that pregnancy raises the PH balance and can cause it. It is not a yeast infection, already ruled out by my Dr. and I’m certain it’s not an STD because I’ve been w my husband for 11 years. So that being said I would appreciate any good comments from women who have been pregnant and had this symptom and found any way to relieve it!! This is causing me to not want to be intimate w my husband because I’m afraid it will hurt. I try not to scratch because it only leads to pain but I’m only human…it itches I scratch! Help?!

I know it sounds weird but use baby powder.
Natural yoghurt
Yeah lol many will thumb me down but it helps trust me!
I use it and just take off my knickers and wear baggy trousers to give me air below.
Try a couple teaspoons of baking soda on a pad wear it for as long as possible, this will ease the itching, but unfortunatly theres isnt alot you can do to make it go away conpletely. Also let the area breath for a couple hours a day, wear no underwear to bed, or at least 100% cotton underwear, hope it stops soon for you!
try eating yogurt plain..or try soaking in lavender..or try buying some Lactobacillus acidophilus drink..its a tiny little bottle maybe 1-5oz. i forgot what its called but they sell them in a 5pk. it can help..and its even gluten free. i know you said its not a yeast infection but maybe try rubbing some ice to stop the itching..and some comfortable cotton underwear might work too.. and try baby powder..its helped me before even to keep dry..
Diaper rash cream! That stuff is amazing! Also if you shave or wax down there don’t do it for a week or 2 it just irritates and makes it much worse
